Product details
Blackened X Rabbit Hole Bourbon Whiskey is a remarkable collaboration between BLACKENED Whiskey's Master Distiller Rob Dietrich and Rabbit Hole Distillery’s Founder Kaveh Zamanian. This 2023 limited-edition release from the Masters of Whiskey Series blends the craftsmanship of two renowned whiskey makers. At its core is a 13-year-old straight Tennessee bourbon (64% corn, 36% rye) combined with Rabbit Hole’s Heigold High Rye Double Malt Kentucky Straight bourbon (70% corn, 25% malted rye, 5% malted barley). The blend undergoes an additional finishing touch in Calvados apple brandy casks, resulting in a cask-strength, non-chill filtered bourbon that delivers layers of complexity.
On the nose, Blackened X Rabbit Hole offers a delightful bouquet of apple butter, rhubarb, honey-suckle, graham cracker, and macadamia nut. The palate reveals a symphony of ripe pear, cinnamon stick, smoky campfire, field clover, and honey, with a lingering note of black walnut. This masterful blend showcases the intricate balance of bold rye spice and soft fruit notes, creating a bourbon that is both rich and nuanced, a true testament to the expertise behind its creation.
